In return for Van Norman's release, convicted Soviet spy Robert Thompson was freed from Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania Sunday after serving 13 years of a 30-year sentence for espionage. Israeli pilot Miron Marcus, 24, was released by Mozambique late last month after 19 months imprisonment im-prisonment as part of the international prisoner exchange. Van Norman, who failed in an attempt to smuggle three East Germans to the West, had been in jail since August of last year. He said he underwent "rough interviews" and was placed in solitary confinement for failing to answer questions. The 23-year-old told reporters he was not physically mistreated during his nine months of imprisonment but said, "The psychological stress was quite high." The North Pole After a 500-mile, 57-day trip, Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura Monday became the first person to reach the North Pole alone by dog sled. Uemura's arrival was delayed by a polar bear, which attacked his tent and ate all his provisions, blizzards, ice floes and a pregnant husky. The polar bear attack came on Uemura's fourth day out and when it returned the following day the 37-year-old adventurer killed it and arranged for more provisions to be flown in. Uemura began his trip on March 5 from Cape Edward on Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic. Kabul, Afghanistan A reported 500 persons were killed last week when military rebels toppled top-pled the government of Afghanistan in a bloody coup. Among the dead were President Mohammed Moham-med Daoud, 69, and his brother-advisor Naeem, 68. The two brothers, who were killed Friday were said to have resisted "madly." Nur Mohammad Tarakki, the new head of the Afghanistan government, began choosing his top aides Monday and it appeared the country was quickly returning to normal after the violent overthorw. The Soviet Union and Bulgaria have granted recognition to the new government and unconfirmed reports say Cuba and Iraq have the same. United Nations The new United Nations demographic yearbook says world population reached 4.04 billion in 1976 and that 8.08 billion persons will inhabit the globe by 2013.

He was hit four times and taken to a nearby near-by hospital. Meanwhile, a newspaper in Rome said the Red Brigades telephoned a new ultimatum to Aldo Moro's family threatening to kill the former premier in a "few hours" if the Italian government govern-ment did not immediately agree to bargain for his life. 1 Gourmet Sandwiches Luncheon Salad Bar $.85 and $1.50 Ice Cream Specialties NATIONAL Washington Israel was promised eternal American support by President Carter Monday and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin called the President's pledge "one of the greatest moral statements ever." Carter and Begin celebrated the 30th anniversary anniver-sary of Israel's founding on the south lawn of the White House. "...we will never waver from our deep friendship friend-ship and partnership with Israel and our total, absolute commitment to Israel's security," Carter Car-ter said. Chicago Twenty-five-year-old Joseph Healy was charged with disorderly conduct Monday after af-ter he scaled 18 stories of the 110-story Sears Tower and descended safely after four hours. Behind him, Healy left a banner reading "Stop Killing the Whales" on the side of the world's tallest building. The climb began before sunrise at 4 a.m. and ended about 8:20 a.m. Healy was described by authorities as an experienced mountain climber. Washington Overruling the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Thursday, President Carter ordered the sale of more than 16,800 pounds of low-enriched uranium to India for an atomic power station outside Bombay. The United States previously agreed to supply all the fuel requirements for the power station and India, in turn, agreed to operate it exclusively ex-clusively on fuel furnished by this country. St. Mary's, West Virginia Fifty-one construction construc-tion workers plunged to their deaths Thursday when a scaffold inside a power company cooling tower collapsed and plummeted 170 to the ground. Nine of the victims were members of one family. "There was so much stuff there on the ground that you couldn't see the bodies," said one laborer at the scene. "There wasn't a sound coming from it. They were torn up so bad, I couldn't tell looking at them whether any of my friends had been killed." Monongahela Power Company officials said the collapsed structure was about one-third completed when the disaster occurred. The tower was one of two at the plant and the first one had been completed. "They just fell like dominos," said one observer. obser-ver. "I looked up and men were screaming and hollering." Phoenix "I'm not going to say anything," John Ehrlichman said Thursday as he boarded a plane for San Francisco. The convicted Watergate conspirator walked out of the Swift Trail Federal Prison Camp on parole after serving ser-ving 18 months for his role in the coverup that ended the presidency of Richard Nixon. Ehrlichman is the first of Nixon's top three aides to serve out his sentence for Watergate violations. H.R.

Washington In a test conducted by the government, govern-ment, 200 obese rats were put on strict protein diets and 95 per cent of the animals died within a month. The diets were similar to those believed responsible for the deaths of 16 women. The rats' deaths seemed to bear many similarities to those of the women who died suddenly, sud-denly, generally following heartbeat irregularities. A Food and Drug Administration official said preliminary results of the rat study indicate that . females "are dramatically more susceptible to diets of this kind than males, although we don't know why." 7 (fUtttni-iS' iiMii&t'j IHito !iaii!HltiUffiti 'tllHilHlio Stadium Patrons Exceed Goals The Park City Stadium Patrons, a group organized for the purpose of completing com-pleting the local high school stadium facilities, announced announ-ced at a meeting last Thursday Thurs-day night that all their financial and material goals have been met.
